Erythema elevatum diutinum is a rare, chronic dermatosis characterized by red–violet to red–brown papules, plaques, and nodules that favor extensor surfaces. Lesions often are asymptomatic, though some patients may experience pain or a burning sensation. Non-cutaneous symptoms include constitutional symptoms such as arthralgia and fever. Although erythema elevatum diutinum is benign, it can occur in association with infections, hematologic abnormalities, autoimmune diseases, or other conditions. Spontaneous resolution commonly occurs after 5 to 10 years. This activity describes the pathophysiology, evaluation, and management of erythema elevatum diutinum and stresses the role of the interprofessional team in the care of affected patients.
